when you turn the key on, the fuel pump should run for 3 seconds and pressurize the line ... if it does this again, turn the key on, wait 3 seconds, turn off, turn on , wait 3 seconds, etc.. do this 2-3 times, then turn the key to the "start" position and see if that fixes your problem........ each time you turn the key "on" listen for the pump to kick in and run for 3 seconds......

another thing you can do is check the fuel pressure at the Schrader valve on the fuel rail above the motor after setting all night.
